It's the Pits
Template:Minigame-infobox It's the Pits is a team minigame appearing in Super Mario Party.
Gameplay
The players are in a circular arena with a central circular display the players cannot stand on. In each of the first two rounds, one quadrant of the arena will be lit red and the lights will spin around the central display. At any random moment, a five-second countdown will begin in the center. When the time expires, every character as well as the red danger panel stops moving. Whoever is standing in the quadrant lit red will fall through trap doors and be eliminated. In the third round, two quadrants are lit red instead of one, and these may be directly adjacent or vertically opposite. The rules from the first two rounds still apply. The winning team is the one with the most members that outlast all three rounds; more than one team may win. The game can end early if one team loses all of their members before the final round, in which case the minigame ends instantly but if all members fall through a trapdoor or both teams have the same amount of members survived, the game ends a tie.
On the Challenge Road, this is the seventh challenge of Chestnut Forest and the 17th challenge overall. There are 4 teams, each team with one main player and two allies. For the normal challenge, the goal is to beat or tie the other teams and the player has two allies. For the Master Challenge, the player must stay in the game until the end and has no allies.
